The major phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 purified from rat liver, a member of family II of the cytochrome P-450 gene superfamily, is rapidly phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The phosphorylation reaches greater than 0.5 mol phosphate/mol P-450 after 5 min and is accompanied by a decrease in enzyme activity. The serine residue in position 128 was shown to be the sole phosphorylation site and a conformational change of the protein was indicated by a shift of the carbon monoxide difference spectrum of the reduced cytochrome from 450 to 420 nm. Comparison of amino acid sequences of various cytochrome P-450 families revealed a highly conserved arginine residue in the immediate vicinity of the phosphorylated serine residue which constitutes the kinase recognition sequence. It also revealed that only the members of the cytochrome P-450 family II carry this kinase recognition sequence. To find out whether this phosphorylation also occurs in vivo, the exchangeable phosphate pool of intact hepatocytes derived from phenobarbital-pretreated rats was labeled with 32Pi followed by an incubation of the cells with the membrane-permeating dibutyryl-cAMP or with the adenylate cyclase stimulator glucagon to activate endogenous kinase. As a result, a microsomal polypeptide with the same electrophoretic mobility as cytochrome P-450 became strongly labeled. Peptide mapping and immunoprecipitation with monospecific antibodies identified this protein as the major phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450. It becomes phosphorylated at the same serine residues as in the cell-free phosphorylation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The regulatory role of cAMP-dependent protein kinase in steroidogenesis was examined in luteal cell mitochondria prepared from heavily luteinized prepubertal rat ovaries. The cAMP-dependent protein kinase, localized in luteal mitochondria, comprised 5.5% of the total cellular protein kinase activity (cAMP-dependent). Intact mitochondria supported by a suitable electron-donor substrate and inhibited by isoxazole converted cholesterol to a single steroid product, pregnenolone. Neither (Bu)2 cAMP nor a crude preparation of cytosolic protein kinase stimulated pregnenolone production from cholesterol when added to intact luteal cell mitochondria; however, mitochondria treated with 10 mM CaCl2 became responsive to both (Bu)2 cAMP and protein kinase by showing increased pregnenolone production. Likewise, the addition of cytosol protein kinase to incubations of cholesterol and crude cholesterol sidechain cleavage enzyme (cytochrome P-450cscc) isolated from luteal mitochondria, also stimulated pregnenolone production. Cholesterol-poor mitochondria, depleted of endogenous sterol by prolonged preincubation, when subsequently incubated with Ca+2 plus (Bu)2 cAMP and protein kinase showed significantly increased pregnenolone production. Conversely, mitochondria with greatly increased intramitochondrial cholesterol after preincubation with 200 microM cholesterol and a cytochrome P-450cscc inhibitor (aminoglutethimide) synthesized pregnenolone in significantly higher amounts than either normal or cholesterol-poor mitochondria after removal of the aminoglutethimide block. However, addition of (Bu)2cAMP or protein kinase to Ca+2-treated cholesterol-rich mitochondria failed to additionally stimulate pregnenolone synthesis. We conclude from these observations that the mitochondrial membrane normally excludes protein kinase and (Bu)2cAMP from any stimulatory action on cholesterol side-chain cleavage. Disruption of the mitochondrial membrane by high Ca+2 concentrations eliminates this barrier and permits (Bu)2cAMP and protein kinase stimulation of the CSCC enzyme system. The mechanism of stimulation is not clear. It could involve direct action on the CSCC enzyme. Alternatively, an increase in either intramitochondrial transport or binding of cholesterol substrate to the CSCC enzyme could be facilitated by protein kinase action. Direct stimulation of the enzyme by protein kinase seems less likely, since increased enzyme activity was not observed in the presence of high concentrations of intramitochondrial cholesterol substrate.

The phenobarbital-inducible form of cytochrome P-450 purified from rabbit liver microsomes is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase at a single site, the serine residue in position 128 of the amino acid sequence. The serine is located in a characteristic recognition sequence for cAMP-dependent protein kinase and is part of a primary structure which is conserved during evolution, present also in phenobarbital-inducible rat cytochrome and cytochrome P-450 CAM from Pseudomonas putida. The contribution of these findings to our understanding of the structure and membrane topology of cytochrome P-450 LM2 and its turnover regulated by phosphorylation is discussed.

The regulation of the protein kinase activity responsible for the phosphorylation of the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHCII) 27-kDa polypeptide involved in the State I-State II transitions in Acetabularia thylakoids was investigated. The LHCII kinase of isolated thylakoids retains its activity in absence of light-driven electron flow or reductants added in the dark. However, the kinase is reversibly inactivated by addition of oxidants in vitro or by far red (710 nm) light in vivo. Inhibitors of the quinol oxidase site of the cytochrome b6.f complex inactivate the LHCII kinase in the dark, and also in the light, or in presence of duroquinol when the plastoquinone pool is reduced. Inhibitors of the quinone reductase site of the b6.f complex have practically no effect in the dark and stimulate the kinase activity in the light. Based on these data and on our previous report, showing specific loss of LHCII kinase activity in a Lemna mutant lacking the cytochrome b6.f complex (Gal, A., Shahak, Y., Schuster, G., and Ohad, I. (1987) FEBS Lett. 221, 205-210), we propose that the activity of the LHCII kinase is regulated by the redox state of a cytochrome b6.f complex component(s) which responds to the balance of electron flow from photosystem II via the plastoquinone pool to photosystem I.

Cytochrome P-450(11)beta from adrenal cortex is an intrinsic membrane protein embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Topography of the protein inside a phospholipid bilayer was examined using controlled proteolysis of purified cytochrome P-450(11)beta following its integration into artificial liposomes. Inclusion of the protein into phospholipid vesicles led to a marked stabilization of the cytochrome activity. Trypsin treatment of the liposome-integrated cytochrome resulted in the rapid disappearance of the native protein moiety (47 kDa), while a major 34 kDa peptide component was formed. This peptide core retained the heme moiety and part of the cytochrome steroid-11 beta hydroxylase activity. Very similar observations were obtained when inside-out vesicles prepared from isolated adrenocortical mitoplasts were examined with the same approach. It is thus suggested that adrenocortical cytochrome P-450(11)beta is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane as well as in artificial liposomes by a major hydrophobic domain associated with the heme moiety while a limited domain remains accessible on the matrix side of the membrane surface. The previous described phosphorylation of the cytochrome P-450(11)beta on a serine residue, by the cAMP-dependent protein kinase is suggested to occur in the protein domain oriented toward the membrane surface, the phosphorylation site being lost under mild proteolytic digestion of the membrane-integrated protein.

Cytochrome P-450, purified from liver microsomes of phenobarbital-induced rabbits, was phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Upon phosphorylation P-450 was found to be converted to its denatured form, P-420, as verified spectroscopically from the CO-bound form of the reduced cytochrome. The conversion was dependent on both kinase and ATP. Thus, cyclic AMP may regulate the biotransformation system through the control of the degradation rate of microsomal P-450 in vivo.

Partially purified chick kidney mitochondrial Type II protein kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of 1 alpha-hydroxylase cytochrome P-450 without affecting the rate of product formation in vitro when 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity is reconstituted by the addition of [ferredoxin] and [ferredoxin reductase] to the phosphorylated cytochrome. The cytochrome's effective concentration, or its general spectral properties did not change upon phosphorylation. However, when the cytochrome and its ferredoxin were present simultaneously during the phosphorylation reaction, reconstitution of 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity by the addition of ferredoxin reductase failed to catalyze product formation. Although a several fold increase in the kinase activity could be demonstrated in the presence of cAMP, the above phosphorylation effects appear to be cAMP-independent.

The cholesterol substrate required for sustained adrenal steroidogenesis is largely derived from the endogenous stores of cholesterol esters, which are located in large lipid inclusion droplets in the cytoplasm. In isolated adrenal cells, these esters are hydrolyzed during a variety of stimuli associated with cellular cAMP production. This largely appears to be a response to the action of a neutral cholesterol ester hydrolase, whose activity is modulated by phosphorylation of the enzyme protein, catalyzed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Transfer of the resulting unesterified cholesterol to mitochondria can be accomplished in a model system by sterol carrier protein2 (SCP2). This protein is distinct from fatty acid binding protein (FABP), has a Mr of 13,500 and is basic in nature. SCP2 can sequester cholesterol from lipid inclusion droplets in a stoichiometric relationship, and transfer this cholesterol to isolated adrenal mitochondria. SCP2 can also enhance the intermembrane transfer of mitochondrial cholesterol to cytochrome P 450scc, but does not directly affect cholesterol side chain cleavage. The stimulatory effect of adrenal cytosolic preparations on mitochondrial pregnenolone production can be completely abolished by pretreatment with anti SCP2 IgG.

The activities of rat liver nucleolar and nucleoplasmic protein kinases were investigated after administration of a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) dose of 100 mg/kg body weight 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC). A significant increase was observed in the activities of both the nucleolar and nucleoplasmic protein kinases in the hepatic cells from young rats. The maximum stimulation was evident 24 h after pretreatment with 3-MC. The extent of the maximum activation was distinctly greater in the nucleolar (186%) than in the nucleoplasmic fraction (133% compared with the controls). A second activation of the extranucleolar protein kinase fractions was demonstrated 96 h after 3-MC pretreatment. It is suggested that both kinds of enzymes are involved in the mechanism of the cytochrome P-448-inducing action of 3-MC via stimulating nuclear RNA polymerases.

The rate-limiting step in adrenal steroidogenesis is associated with the mitochondrial-cytochrome-P450scc-dependent production of pregnenolone from cholesterol. This sterol side-chain cleavage reaction is influenced by the supply of cholesterol to the mitochondria. Cholesterol is stored as cholesterol esters while the cytosol contains a hormone-sensitive cholesterol ester hydrolase. This enzyme is activated by phosphorylation involving a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and ATP; this enzyme preferentially attacks cholesterol oleate or cholesterol linoleate. The lipid composition of the adrenal cortex is influenced by diet so that animals on a low-fat diet tend to store cholesterol oleate and as the linoleate content of the diet is increased, the cholesterol linoleate content of the adrenal cortex increases. Animals maintained on a high erucate diet tend to store large amounts of cholesterol erucate in the adrenal cortex; such animals have an impaired adrenal cortical function. Animals maintained on a low-fat diet (marginally deficient in essential fatty acids), a linoleate-replete diet or a moderate erucate diet, all exhibited normal responses to ACTH and normal corticosterone production rates.
